- Version Numbers
- Version numbers are three digit numbers in the form
x.y.z :

- Major Version (First Digit)
- This number is incremented only after a major change to the NeXtMidas
baseline.
- The last time this number was incremented was after the 1.8.X release
when support for Java 1.1 (required to run applets in Netscape 4.7)
was dropped.
- Minor Version (Second Digit)
- Identifies a release series.
- Indicates type of release:
- Even Value - Indicates a stable series.
- Odd Value - Indicates a beta series.
- Update (Third Digit)
- For stable releases this is used to identify subsequent "bug fix
releases" made to patch bugs found in the stable release.
- Periodic releases of beta releases are made, for each release the
update is increased by one.
- For more details, please see the NeXtMidas
User's Guide.
